A priority session will be held in Oak Bay this Friday to discuss next steps, but not all residents are on board. In fact, some even think the survey was rigged. Long-time deer advocate Kelly Carson told CTV that she believes the online survey was tampered with because there’s no evidence to prove where the votes came from.

Jensen, however, maintains that they kept the survey anonymous so that people would give their honest opinion.

“People will not come to council to ask for a deer management program because the anti-cull group are loud, they’re aggressive, they hoot and they holler,” Jensen told CTV. “Nobody wants to be subjected to that kind of abuse.”
